Ray's Motel

"Ray's is one of my favorite motels in the entire state of Michigan! My wife really loved their very nice flower garden period it looks very plain from the road, but there is a gorgeous backyard. The owners are very friendly, rooms are very clean, and the price is a fraction of what the big chains are."

"Well this place definitely has the potential to be better. I was looking to stay for a month possibly 2 but the owner wouldn’t come down on the price of $450 a week, I offered even to pay a month in advance and she is convinced she’s sitting on prime real estate, that May in fact be true if you he place was cleaner, updated, or not so creepy. The heat is an old boiler system and randomly there are loud bangs and booms and noises pretty sure the system should be bled. No warning of this at all. I wouldn’t stay here again"

"I LOVE Ray's! As a Nuclear Pro, I rented one of the cabins for 6 months with them when I first stayed in 1999, have stayed there several times since... It's my 'GO TO' if I'm working at the DC Cook Plant! It's an older place, but still 'Family Owned'- and they work HARD to keep it that way! The area has grown a LOT in the last 20+ years, so there are a lot more local conveniences in Stevensville than there used to be... and a lot more competition! Southwest Michigan is BRUTAL during Winter (... and I live in WYOMING!), but there is EASY access to I-94, and the 'Red Arrow Highway' is usually kept well plowed, so there're not a lot of problems getting to the Cook Plant. If you don't mind being 'BOXED UP' inside one of the big chain Hotels, paying TOP DOLLAR, and do not smoke... FINE! If you DO smoke, these Mom & Pop hotels are GREAT- especially when you can simply step outside your door and BS with your neighbors/ co-workers and cook out when the weather is decent. I'll stay at RAY's... ALWAYS!"

"I absolutely love the owner Linda and her family. Great people and she treated me like family. Rooms were clean, there was an incident with another resident/guest, as promised Linda took care of it immediately. I never even had a chance to bring it to her attention since she was completely in tune taking care of me and the other guests. If you want something simple inexpensive, safe and clean then come here. Rooms are retro and charming. I loved the owners. Wonderful people."
